How can I add the "title" (banner) / title area to an existing page?
Hi, I created a page by copying another page. The existing page did not have the title bar with the background image. Is there a way to add this web part? I do not see it listed under the web parts...
SusanHanley - that only works if you have a title region on the page to edit. That begs the question of how to add the Title Region in the first place.
SusanHanley RobElliott Mike Williams Ozlem - I'm also having this same issue. A page was created (owner no longer working at the org) and it has no "Title Region" on the page to edit. The page is integrated heavily into navigation throughout the site, but is not consistent with other pages of similar content and importance, so I need to change its appearance to match others. How do I add that "Title Region" to the existing page above the content sections?

Had the same problem. You may have copied your homepage (as I did), and it seems you cannot add a title area for that, see here.- Hi I found a way to manage!
You need to create a new webpage with (including) a title area. This you must select when creating the page. Name it "home_new.aspx".
Unfortunately now you need to add all the content of you old "home" to your "home_new" manually.
Afterwards rename your old "home.aspx" to "home_old.aspx".
Last step is to rename you newly created "home_new.aspx" to "home.aspx".
If your SharePoint is called now your new home.aspx (including title area) is opened.- Hi Matt,
This is actually not the greatest solution.
Within a Site Collection, SharePoint recognizes linked pages by their ID, not the actual link (for some reason...). This means that even though you will swap the addresses, within the same Site Collection you will need to manually go through all places where the Home page was linked, and link it to the 'new page' (in fact, the same address), because it will be redirecting to the one with changed address. It can be handy in case you want to change address of page but in similar case as yours, it's a struggle.
It won't affect links that are used outside of sharepoint environment. But acutally, it's pretty hard to swap links for Home page because it's often linked in many places already...
Ozlem DayanBoyce Mike Williams ,
I think you have copied the "Home" page of site to create a new page as mentioned by jens-haley similar to the steps mentioned in this article: SharePoint Online: Create a blank page without header & title
In that case, page will not have any header and title. To bring back the header and title settings, you can use below PnP PowerShell:
Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/siteName -UseWebLogin Set-PnPClientSidePage -Identity "MyPage.aspx" -LayoutType "Article"Please click Mark as Best Response & Like if my post helped you to solve your issue.
